Hi Martin, yes, that is intentional. The idea is to give users a simple way to turn on logging/debug, hence the logging for the Ant tasks can be configured via a property. This means that logging needs to be setup'd in code (instead of a log4j properties file or something similar), and since there is no way to do that via commons-logging, I had to hardcode log4j for the Ant tasks. I don't see this as a problem though since all Ant tasks are small wrappers around core functions, so there is no need to use the Ant tasks themselves from within code.

Was the log4j compile time dependency in DatabaseTaskbase intentional or accidental ? All the rest of the code doesn't use log4j directly. Mvgr, Martin
